Tulle-Puff Headband Tutorial
Inspired by the amazing tulle-halos at the Spring 08 Marc-by-Marc Jacobs show, here's a quick and easy (and mega-cheap) tulle-puff headband DIY!
All you'll need is a yard of tulle in any color, some matching thread or string, and an inexpensive plastic headband in a matching or complimentary color. I chose black so my finished product would resemble Minnie Mouse-ears (so cute!), but a Spring-y pink or green would be oh-so-pretty too...
Let's get started!
1. Cut about 2 feet of tulle from your yard, and set the rest aside.
2. Using the string, attach the tulle to the top of the headband. I chose a point about 6 inches from one end of the tulle to attach, but feel free to customize your design. Also, I found that the most secure way to tie the tulle to the headband was to take a long piece of string (about a foot), wrap it around the two tightly, then tie it off.
3. Take the long, floaty end of the tulle and make a loop as if you were going to tie a bow, then, as in step 2, attach, wrap, and tie the tulle to the headband.
Voila!
The best part about this project is how EASY it is - meaning that you can easily go back and make your tulle puffs more or less crazy depending on the occassion. Have fun with it!

very well copied. porps for your skills and the fact that you are so stylish. but rather haute - couture then ready to wear!
This is so cool!! Now I have something to do with all the tulle I cut off of my formal dress. . . lol. I might have to alter it a little tho, xD.
I was browsing in search for vintage 80's stuff, then I remembered this cartoon named JEM, it was a very cool show and I loved it as a kid!
I was looking through some screenshots at jemandtheholograms.net and found this!!! It is a screenie of an episode, and one of the characters is wearing an item that looks pretty much like the tulle headband!!
